ON MONDAY THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE STEERING COLUMN, BUT NO FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH WAS MELTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
CHRYSLER IS CLAIMING THAT ALL OF POWER STEERING REPAIRS ARE NOT DUE TO THE RECALL ID NO. 04V268000. THE POWER STEERING HOSES HAVE FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE PUMP TO FAIL. CHRYSLER CHARGED US FOR FAILURE OF THE PUMP, BUT NOW AT THIS TIME WE ARE HAVING TO PAY FOR THE HOSES, WHICH HAS CAUSED THE BELT TO BE REPLACED, WHICH NOW CAUSES PUMP DAMAGE. WE PAID FOR THE HOSES TO BE REPLACED AS WELL, BUT NOW FIND OUT NOW IT IS CAUSED BY CHRYSLER NOT FIXING THE RIGHT POWER STEERING COMPONENTS THAT ARE LISTED ON THIS RECALL. WE WOULD LIKE ALL COMPENSATION FOR OUR RENTAL CAR FEES THAT WE HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR WHILE OUR CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE NOW FOR POWER STEERING ISSUES. OUR VEHICLE IS A 2004 CHRYSLER PT. *TR
